Introduction
************
Hello, and welcome to my Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons Of Liberty
FAQ/Walkthrough. This is my first ever FAQ and I hope you all like it. It
would be great if you people can give me your feedback because I would
really like to read it. Email me at NOLIMITZ13@HOTMAIL.COM. This FAQ is for
NORMAL MODE. This FAQ/Walkthrough is for the only purpose of getting you
through the game alive. This Walkthrough will NOT give you locations or how
to get DOG TAGS. There are already many FAQs with that information and I
don't think it's nessicary in this one. Thankyou for reading so far, and
now, ON WITH THE FAQ!
This FAQ may contain spoilers, so read at your own risk.
